CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF WILD CHERRY SEEDLING FEDERATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

This paper presents the results of the inventory of wild cherry genotypes and their research in specified areas of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The increasing number of wild genotypes (1050) were determined by the inventory, the recorded number, three hundred and fifty had extremely favorable biomorphological and pomological and nine genotypes were rated superior by their investigative morphological, phenological, chemical and other biological characteristics. These genotypes highlights the robustness of habitus, large cropping have been selected and resistance to frost and drought, as well as quality, juicy and tasty berries Noćajević, et al (2011). Genetic potential of a wild cherry is tremendously important as suitable for selection and breeding of indigenous varieties of cherries which have had a long tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
